A female India age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi,

I have met this guy one year ago as his family and my family knows each other. He is 4yrs younger than me.

Last year as our family met each other even we got to meet each and since then he got in touch with me. Even we have common friends so sometimes we did hangout with each other.

Our friendship has turned really very well. Like I consider him him one of my besties and he too. Recently like weeks ago, as we were talking over text as usual and then all of sudden he told me he have started to love me.

I was surprised and when I asked him since when then he started explaining his side story that since last three months it was hard for him to stay with that infatuation he had towards me and as it went on everyday his liking for me grown and he realized that he is in love with me.

Now for me, I really dont understand what to do. What if he is still in infatuation. I have avoided this topic from that night but he he is behind me for the answer.

Secondly even I've started feeling for him just because he confessed his feelings. I dont know what to do. Above that he is younger than me. Well I wouldnt care about age if i'm truly in love but what if the relation doesnt ends well.

I'm confused and i dont know how to handle this situation

Andie's Thoughts agony auntIf he's over 18, it may be worth a shot - *but* you said you only started to develop feelings *after* he confessed his, suggesting you didn't have any beforehand. You need to figure out if you actually like him romantically, or if it's just because he's interested in you.

Denizen agony auntI think you both need a bit more time to think about this. I would tell him that you aren't ready to start going out. Keep it light and friendly.

Once you have sorted your own feelings out you can make a decision.

You might also learn something about his maturity by how he takes it.

So_Very_Confused agony auntIf he is legally an adult, (here that's over 18) and you like him and he likes you...for ME that's a no brainer and I'd say go for it.

My husband just turned 43. I'm 56. 13 years older.

Age after a while is but a number.
